ZoneFlex cooking
A maximum of two items of cookware can be operated on any one ZoneFlex cooking
zone. The hob detects cookware with a diameter of ø10 cm or larger, shows its position
in the pan detection display and activates the corresponding slider. Pans with different
diameters can be placed freely on the ZoneFlex cooking zones one behind the other. For
pan detection, cookware must be positioned centrally on the cooking zone areas.
For even frying, cookware must be positioned centrally on the cooking zone areas.
The diameter of the base of the cookware should not be larger than the cooking
zone areas.
